ÂWhat makes ÂWritten in the Starsâ striking and quite wonderful is the ease and sagacity with which Ms. Duncan writes about adolescence (at an astonishingly young authorial age) and the emotional resonance she creates with characters we will know only brieflyÂfor such is the nature of short stories.âÂWall Street Journal
